This (audio)book is an absolutely ESSENTIAL addition to one's anti-racist education. Myisha T. Hill's work encompasses both real talk and joy, and everything in between. I jumped at the chance to listen to this audiobook after following her on Instagram for a couple years, and was even more inspired that I thought possible.
ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL! READ IT.
Not only does the author illuminate exactly WHY the work needs to be done, but she also paves a path forward, showing us HOW.
So grateful to the publisher, and NetGalley, for an advanced copy of this audiobook, in exchange for my honest review.

I got so much out of this book, and I think I came across it at the right time in my journey. My book is highlighted and earmarked and I've read sections to friends, written emails about what I've learned, etc.

A great read for any white person who wants to re-energize their anti-racist practice. During the “Great White Awakening of 2020” many folks recognized the need to act on social justice issues but fell out of practice as time has gone by. This book is for those of us who want to sustain a long term commitment to those values, especially in between episodes of public outcry. Hill’s words and story are inspiring, practical and timely. This is not the book for a person who’s just starting to learn about white privilege and supremacy but instead fulfills a need for those who are committed to a lifelong practice.
Thank you to the publisher, author and NetGalley for this ALC!

This is a deeply powerful and practical work that puts real tools in the reader’s hands for doing the work of anti-racism.
The author makes it clear that she is not the right teacher for everyone, but she is certainly the right teacher for me. I feel so privileged to have been introduced to her work and perspective. And truly, I feel that everyone should read this book.
What strikes me most about this book is how the author seeks to repair harm by breaking cycles of shame, addressing how we are impacted by generational and systemic problems, and making space for everyone—truly everyone—to heal from the past before jumping into action.
It feels like such a gift to have received this book, and I know that part of my work is to pass it on.
